Mauckingbird Theater Company: Shakespeare's R & J August 20, 2008

Four schoolboys at a repressive preparatory school discover William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and find themselves suddenly immersed in the tragic story of forbidden love. As the boys assume the roles of all the play's characters, the classic tale begins to blur with the students' own lives and Shakespeare's verse is heard anew. Written by award-winning playwright Joe Calarco.
